Lack of Port S-video on Satellite A300

Dear people,

I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 series that although it was announced by the end-seller and Toshiba have a S-video port between other ports, the laptop doesn't have an S-video port.

The funny thing is that, next to the HDMI port is a circular takes place with the sign of S-video next to it, but unfortunately this circular place (looks like a stand-by) is covered by a bit of plastic without going through the real S-video port. It's like a S-video port to be there in the first place, but someone just forgot to put the real S-video port.

Everyone knows the same problem?

I want to thank you in advance.

Best regards
VassilisG.

On some pages, you can find wrong entries, and I think that on the page you posted is error.
I do not know what is IDEAL, but check it please official Toshiba Europe page and it is clear that your laptop model doesn't have S-video but HDMI port only.

Good bye

  • Strange problem with ports USB on my Satellite A300-243

    Hello

    I have the following problem. So far, I have 4 USB ports, and only my USB key and key to my friend works there. All other USB keys (I tried mby 20 different ones) does not work: aks for, pilot research, etc...

    I spent many hours together in the internet search, but I didn t find a USB driver, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. So please, I would be very happy if someone could help me with this.
    And I forgot: other devices do not work too. I use it y of the mouse, but it only works in the USB port on the left. Safely, he asks for driver...

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Normally you n t need a driver for USB. On XP, Vista and Windows 7 the stick will be automatically installed and no driver is no longer necessary.

    Can you please tell us what OS you are using? This happens with the factory settings or you have installed another OS?
    You should try with the factory settings and update the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site. In addition, updating the BIOS could also be helpful.

  • Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

    Hello

    To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

    But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

    I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)

  • Satellite A300-y00 come with s-video output port?

    Satellite a300/y00 come with s-video output port?
    Where can buy the cable to this port, or I can buy anywhere or buy from toshiba dealer?

    Hello

    This seems to be an Australian series for Toshiba laptop so it was designed for the Australian market. I'm not very well if this series of portable supports the m s-video output port.
    The point is that there are different models A300 and the s-video output port has not been installed in all mobile phones of the A300.
    I found a manual and it says that the s-video, put it port depends on the model you have purchased.

    Usually, it should be placed on the left side between the vents and the output HDMI port. Check it out.
    If there is no s-video output port then the laptop does not support it.

  • Satellite A300 - disapperars video if I close the lid

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite a300 PSAGCC - 06:019 and I'm watching movies h264. I am running Vista Home premium SP1 with the latest ATI drivers and catalyst control center. I use the KMPlayer, as well as of the x 64 Media Player Classic version (the latest versions that I could find).

    The problem is when I close the lid to see the movie on my tv (via the HDMI port), the video disappears. The sound is not yet, but my TV goes out. When I open the lid of the computer, I can see the movie I'm playing on the laptop screen. This is not conducive to effective viewing!

    Can you get it someone please let me know how can I fix?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Hmm, laptop s display backlight is turned OFF when the lid is closed.
    But I put t understand why this affects the output HDMI port.

    You can check the settings of Vista power management.
    There is an option called (left) choose closing the cover
    Here, you should choose disable everything so nothing would happen when lid is closed

    PS: Did you choose TV by using the FN + F5?
    Please check if only one TV has been chosen.

  • Satellite A300 - 1MX Win7: can't capture video from conencted Camcorder FireWire

    Hello

    I have a problem with the video capture from a Sony TRV60E with a Satellite A300 1MX and Windows 7 camcorder via the firewire connector.

    The camera is not recognized (or more) Windows.

    I already changed the firewire driver under windows to the "legacy", also often described in other forums.
    And for a few hours, everything worked fine. The camera has been recognized and Pinnacle Studio 14 could capture video of him.

    But after eight hours, the camera was suddenly is no longer recognized.

    -l' camera is immediately recognized by a XP system
    -On the system W7, I uninstalled, reinstalled the driver firewire, powered down the material (shot of power and the batteries for several minutes), but nothing helped.

    I may have a different firewire driver? Or another operating system?

    Thank you.
    kJ

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    For confuses me the fact that cam has BEEN recognized in the past and now for some reason any it is not recognized correctly.

    All devices are properly recognized in device (firewire port) Manager?
    You can test the firewire port using another device?

    You have discovered what may be the problem. Test port firewire with other devices to see if other devices will be recognized correctly.

  • Satellite A300 - 06H 019 - special edition video updated

    Hi all

    I have a question on my laptop, there a HD3470 256 MB mxm II video card it's a 64-bit memory interface
    I want to level to a card 9600 m GT 512 MB mxm II is a 128 bit
    What I know for sure, is that the A300-o2c019 has a 128-bit of 3650 witch I guess mine can handle the 9600 m gt
    The 9600 m gt uses 20 watts and the 3650 35 watts so I said, but am not sure about the 3470 on how many watts it uses.

    So in the end is it safe to use the 9600 m gt in my Satellite A300 - 06 H 019?

  • Satellite A300-1EG - after upgrade to Vista Premium lacks some options

    Floor of the year of return, that I bought the computer laptop Toshiba SATELLITE A300-1EG (short model No. PSAG4E). Due to some problems, it was necessary to reinstall Windows.

    Bought the laptop introduced Windows Vista Home. Now I have created Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. A problem with some drivers, I can't adjust brightness and sharpness of the screen, and the screen guests do not work. Writing "or screen prompt updated video card is required, or the video card compatible with Direct3D" is necessary.

    Help please!

    Hello

    I think that you didn t install the driver on the right graphics card
    It seems that your laptop supports the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics chip and I think that you should simply reinstall the graphics driver on the European driver Toshiba page

  • Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue

    Hello

    I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.

    I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.

    I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.

    Has anyone else had this type of problem?

    What did you do to solve it?

    I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).

    Thanks in advance,

    Deanne.

    First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

    In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

  • Satellite A300 - S-video does not detect TV

    Dear all
    Last week, I bought your new product: Toshiba Satellite A300

    I liked its release specifications specially s-video.
    When I arrived at my house, I have it plugged into my TV:
    Bomba Toshiba 29A3MJ
    http://www.Toshiba-Gulf.com/site/product/prd_details.asp?prdid=1044&CATID=123

    I used S-Video/RCA cable:
    http://www.accessories-shop.NET/images/5FT_4_PIN_S-VIDEO_to_3_RCA_TV_male_Cable.jpg

    Then, I put the TV fashion which I usually use to another laptop.
    I kept clicking on Fn + F5 on the satellite phone without exploitation.
    Nothing has been posted on the TV screem.
    Before, I used to connect to HP Pavilion dv2000 in the same TV using the s-video and it worked fine.

    Please advice how to solve this problem.
    Best regards

    Hello

    Usually, this should work.
    Both devices must be OFF. Connect then the laptop and the TV using this cable.
    Turn on the TV and the laptop starts.

    If the use of the FN + F5 will not detect the image on the TV then I would recommend checking the settings in your graphics card properties.

    I put t know what graphics card you have, but my Satellite phone has been equipped with the Intel graphics card and I can change the settings in Control Panel-> Intel GMA graphics card.

    Maybe your laptop supports the ATI card. If these parameters were in ATI catalyst.

    PS: Check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS and the latest graphics card driver too.

    Have you changed any settings in the sound properties of playback devices?
    I have a BRAVIA 32 LCD TV and I tested with A300-1LI and Satellite A500-157.
